In light of last night's election, what non-US programs are worth looking into for neuroscience?

A lot of schools ask for lists of research experience and then have a separate section for a research statement. Does it look weird to list an experience that we don't mention in our statement? I have a variety of different experiences and would prefer to talk about a few in depth rather than all of them shallowly but am not sure if that's the best approach.

3 summers full time in various labs with about a year part-time between classes mixed in (1 co-author publication on its way). I also have ~2 years part time and 2 summers full time in my current lab (with a 2nd author publication in press). GRE scores above 90th percentile... I should also have letters from multiple lab mentors.

Stanford, UCSF, UCSD, MIT, Johns Hopkins, BCM, University of Washington and maybe one or two more. I know the first few are ultra-ultra-competitive, but I was feeling reasonably okay about my application until I realized that I forgot to take the final for an online community college course this summer...

None of them were relevant -- I'm planning on applying for neuroscience (my major as well) and the courses were government and spanish. I'm assuming thats better than if they were bio and chem classes, but obviously I still wish i hadn't done it. I'm just trying to figure out how hard i should be smacking my forehead X-(

How much will it hurt me having a low <3.00 GPA at a community college where I've taken ~9 hours of courses, if my GPA at my home university (~120 hours) is over 3.8? I'm worried that when it comes to entering the GPAs/transcripts, top tier schools will see the low community college GPA and toss my application without caring that it was only reflective of a couple of classes. Or, will they make a weighted average of the two GPAs when considering my app?

I am looking at some applications from previous years and have noticed that they ask for transcripts from all institutions attended. I have taken a couple of online courses at a community college and will transfer my credits to my main institution at the end of the year (after graduate school decisions have been made) so that I can get my undergraduate degree on time. Could it come back to bite me if I don't send my community college transcript (6 or 9 credit hours) to the graduate schools to which I am applying? I would really rather not send them because 1. It costs like $60 per school and 2. Transfer credits don't affect my GPA at my main institution so I phoned it in for those courses and got C's.
